Environmental Licences and Monitoring

Environmental Licences

All Delta Electricity facilities must comply with the environmental protection legislation in NSW. Each power station holds licences under the Protection on the Environment Operations Act 1997. Delta's licence specifies the terms and conditions under which the site can operate detailing the limits on emissions deemed polluting to the atmosphere and the lakes for all designated discharge points.

The licence also outlines a monitoring regime for specific substances at each licence monitoring point.

It also deems excessive noise and odour as pollutants, and Delta is required to keep a register of any complaint relating to noise, dust, odour or discharges into water.
